APPLICATION OFAMERICANAIRLINES, INC. FORRENEWAL OF EXEMPTIONAUTHORITY (LOS ANGELES-PUERTOVALLARTA)
AmericanAirlines, Inc. hereby applies for renewal of its exemption to serve between Los Angeles and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, grantedbyNotice ofAction Taken onMay 20, 2008, with
an expiration date ofApril 16, 2010. American uses this authorityto display theAA* code on flights operatedbyMexicana. On February 12, 2010, American sought renewal of a number of U.S.-Mexico transborder routes that it serves by codesharing onMexicana, but inadvertentlyomittedLos AngelesPuerto Vallarta. That application was grantedby Notice of Action Taken onMarch 26, 2010. We request renewal of Los Ange s-PuertoVallarta with the same expiration date as the other routes, which is March 26, 2012.- 2 ­
We will poll the carriers named on the attached service list for non-objections and advise the Department of the results. We request that the Department take action on or beforeApril 16, 2010. Renewal is fully consistent with the U.S.-Mexico r Transport Agreement, as amended, and with the public interest. See Statement ofUnited States International Air Transportation Policy, 60 Fed. Reg. 21841, 21842, May 3, 1995, recognizing the public benefits offeredby codeshare arrangements between U.S. and foreign car ers. In response to the Department's letter of June I, 1995 to participants in the Civil ReserveAir Fleet Program, American states that the codeshare arrangement at issue here has no impact onAmerican's CRAF commitments. In response to the Department's notice ofAugust 23, 2005 on streamlining regulatoryprocedures (DOT-OST-2005­ 22228), American has requested corresponding certificate authority for its U.S.-Mexico exemption authority. See application for amended certificate ofpublic convenience and necessity, August 26, 2005 (DOT-OST-2000-8516). We urge expedited approval of that applicationto avoid the need for successive renewals in exemptiondockets.- 3 ­ Respectfully submitted,
